Hairo is a village of Jampur tehsil, Union Council of Kotla Dewan, Rajanpur District. It is located 15 km southeast of Jampur near the Kotla Mughlan. About 1000 years ago there was a city. The Indus River washed all the city away, and it remained flooded for about 25 years. Once again in July 2010, Hairo was included in flooded area. The Government of Pakistan and Pakistan Army attempted to help the people affected by the 2010 flood.[citation needed] Mostly, the people speak Saraiki and Balochi.[1]
